We document three changes in postwar US macroeconomic dynamics: (i) the procyclicality of labor productivity has vanished, (ii) the relative volatility of employment has risen, and (iii) the relative (and absolute) volatility of the real wage has risen. We propose an explanation for all three...

Using data for the G7 countries, conditional correlations of employment and productivity are estimated, based on a decomposition of the two series into technology and non-technology components. The picture that emerges is hard to reconcile with the predictions of the standard real business cycle...

We reformulate the Smets-Wouters (2007) framework by embedding the theory of unemployment proposed in Galí (2011a …,b). We estimate the resulting model using postwar U.S. data, while treating the unemployment rate as an additional observable … output gap. In addition, the estimated model can be used to analyze the sources of unemployment fluctuations. …

We construct a utility-based model of fluctuations, with nominal rigidities and unemployment, and draw its implications … for the unemployment-inflation trade- off and for the conduct of monetary policy. We proceed in two steps. We first leave … unemployment in the constrained efficient allocation. We then focus on the implications of alternative real wage setting mechanisms …
